Giclee Fine Art Printing Service
As many of you already know, I have been printing my own work for over 28 years now. I own two Epson Large Format Archival Inkjet printers – what I and many (if not most) consider to be the best printers for giclee fine art printing. I use genuine Epson ink and the best paper and canvas materials for my fine art photographs.
Now I am making my printing services available to you, using the exact same equipment and materials.
If you are looking for giclee printing services in the Pinetop or Show Low, AZ area you can stop by my summer studio at the Art Barn in Pinetop, AZ. Call me at 480-818-9566 or email me prior to visiting to make sure I will be there the day you plan to visit. If you live elsewhere in the U.S. arrangements can be made for you to send me your digital files and have prints shipped direct to you – just call me or email me for info.
Pricing is based on the square inch. For un-stretched canvas prints you will most likely have to add 2 inches all the way around the image for stretching. So a 16×20 will be billed at 20×24. You may need more or less than 2 inches – let me know – I only charge based on what you need.
Pricing for giclee canvas:
Printed on a beautiful, minimal texture cotton/poly blend canvas, then sprayed using a HVLP spray gun with a gloss UV water-based varnish. Finished canvas is ready for you to stretch (I do not offer canvas stretching – you can stretch it yourself or bring the canvas to your local framing shop).
Price for un-stretched canvas:
- $0.14 per square inch (Example: a 16×20 canvas with a 2 inch border would become a 20×24 print, 20×24=480 sq. inches, times $0.14 equals $67.20)
- $0.13 per square inch on orders of 3 or more of the same exact image and image size
Pricing is for un-retouched digital files properly sized and ready to print. If you need basic color correction, contrast adjustment, cropping and/or proper sizing, and/or minor spot/dust removal a one-time charge of $20 per image will be added. If all that is needed is basic cropping/sizing and sharpening, a one-time charge of $10 per image will be added. For more intense computer work an estimate will be provided.
Pricing on prints suitable for matting and framing:
Printed on your choice of photographic Epson Lustre paper, or 310g 100% cotton rag fine art lightly textured paper that is both acid and lignin free, or Epson Enhanced Matte paper.
Price for Lustre or cotton rag paper:
- $0.10 per square inch
- $0.09 per square inch on orders of 3 or more of the same exact image and image size
Price for Epson Enhanced matte paper:
- $0.09 per square inch
- $0.08 per square inch on orders of 3 or more of the same exact image and image size
Pricing is for un-retouched digital files properly sized and ready to print. If you need basic color correction, contrast adjustment, cropping and/or proper sizing, and/or minor spot/dust removal a one-time charge of $20 per image will be added.
